Life Community Church (LCC) began with the mission that life happens in groups. As the church in Hilliard, Ohio has grown, these smaller groups within the body have become a closely knit brotherhood of believers. Now, a group of Spanish-speaking individuals have also found a home within the family of LCC.
Pastor Armando Leczano, now the Multicultural and Mission Support pastor at LCC, connected with LCC and saw a solution to a need. “The first step was being together,” Pastor Armando says. “The church needs to be a representation of the community.” So they began displaying worship lyrics in English and Spanish, hosting karaoke nights at the church in Spanish, and memorizing scripture together in Spanish.
One Sunday at LCC, a Mexican woman told Pastor Armando, “I don’t understand all the service, but I find people there who love me. I’m so grateful to be there.” In turn, she has begun inviting people to church. To celebrate and continue this initiative, Pastor Armando will deliver a message at this month’s FEC conference entirely in Spanish with a translator at his side. “I’m so excited about this because it’s a great opportunity…When I see the church in Revelation, I see it speaking many languages, a multicultural church.”
This will be the first multilingual message given at an FEC conference, which takes place on July 27th and 28th in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
